About the role

You will report to Bastien (Lead SRE) and work closely with all the tech team.

• Improve our CI/CD and deployment pipelines to unlock engineering autonomy and faster release cycles

• Drive our observability practice — Datadog, CloudWatch, SLOs — so every team can own the reliability of their services

• Strengthen our security posture: WAF, least-privilege, secrets management..

• Contribute to our data infrastructure (Kafka, Flink, Glue/Iceberg) and ensure pipeline reliability at scale

• Collaborate with backend and data engineers to embed reliability practices from the design stage

Our commitments

•  SUCCEED — You’ll join a  team of passionate people  who share values of ambition and determination

•  TRUST — We give you real  autonomy , trusting you to reach your goals in your own way

• ⛏️ EXPLORE — You’ll grow in a culture that’s constantly evolving and curious about what’s next

•  PROGRESS — We’ll support you through challenges, learn from mistakes, and move forward together

•   SMILE — And every day, you’ll be part of a  fun and positive environment  where humor is always welcome

Preferred experience

What we’re looking for

You’re the perfect match if…

• You have 3+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps or Platform Engineering, ideally in a startup or scale-up

• You have strong hands-on experience with AWS (ECS, RDS, IAM, networking) and can navigate it confidently without hand-holding

• You've written infrastructure as code — Terraform, Pulumi or CDK — and have opinions on how to structure it well

• You're pragmatic: you know when to build something robust and when to ship something good enough

• You communicate clearly with engineers and can translate infra constraints into something product teams understand

• You take ownership end-to-end: you don't just open tickets, you close problems

• You have a startup soul — comfortable with ambiguity, energized by building things that don't exist yet

If this sounds like you, apply — we’d love to meet you.

What we offer

• ✈️ A global, mission-driven team with teammates in Paris, NY, London, Boston!

• ‍♀️ A healthy work/life balance (we walk the talk)

• Annual learning & dev budget (you grow, we grow)

• Hybrid work, with 2 days of remote work per week

• (Really, really) Cool office in central Paris with snacks, a walking desk and a huge Wardy hanging around
